Item 1A. Risk Factors
35 rewritten, 27 added, 22 removed, 103 unchanged
The most significant competitive factors we face are product reliability, product performance, reputation of our company and brands, service and [removed: price,] [added: price and global supply chain constraints resulting from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic,] with the relative importance of these factors varying among our product lines.
We may not be able to adapt to market changes as quickly or effectively as our current [added: and future competitors.]
If We Cannot Successfully Execute our Business Strategy, Our Results of Operations Could be Adversely [removed: Impacted][added: Impacted.]
If we are unable to continue to timely and successfully develop and market new products, achieve technological [removed: advances] [added: advances,] or extend our business model and technological advances into international markets, our business and results of operations could be adversely impacted.
We are engaged in various manufacturing rationalization actions designed to achieve our strategic priorities of manufacturing, [removed: sourcing] [added: sourcing,] and distribution excellence and of lowering our cost structure.
For example, we are continuing to reorganize our North American distribution network in order to better serve our customers’ needs by deploying parts and equipment inventory closer to them and are expanding our sourcing activities outside of the U.S. [removed: We also continue to rationalize] [added: In such case, our results of operations] and [removed: reorganize various support] [added: profitability may be negatively impacted, making us less competitive] and [removed: administrative functions in order] [added: potentially causing us] to [removed: reduce ongoing selling and administrative expenses.][added: lose market share.]
We experienced such an event in July 2018, when our manufacturing facility in Marshalltown, Iowa was severely damaged by a [removed: tornado] [added: tornado,] and [removed: when suppliers experienced] [added: we continue to experience] disruptions [added: in supply] due to COVID-19.
Our inability to meet our customers’ demand for our products could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial [removed: condition] [added: condition,] and results of operations.
Claims of intellectual property infringement also might require us to redesign affected products, pay costly damage awards, or face injunction prohibiting us from manufacturing, importing, [removed: marketing] [added: marketing,] or selling certain of our products.
[removed: As] [added: In addition, as] of [removed: February 5,] [added: December 31,] 2021, approximately [removed: 26%] [added: 24%] of our workforce, including international locations, was unionized.
Our Financial Performance Is Affected by the Conditions [added: and Performance] of the U.S. Construction Industry.
Changes in [removed: Legislation or] [added: Environmental and Climate-Related Legislation,] Government [removed: Regulations] [added: Regulations,] or Policies Could Have an Adverse Effect on Our Results of Operations.
The sales, gross [removed: margins] [added: margins,] and profitability for each of our segments could be directly impacted by changes in [removed: legislation or government regulations or policies.][added: tariffs and trade agreements.]
Our inability or delay in developing or marketing products that match customer demand while also meeting applicable [removed: efficiency and environmental standards] [added: LRPs] may negatively impact our results.
The sales, gross [removed: margins] [added: margins,] and profitability for each of our segments could be directly impacted by changes in [removed: tariffs] [added: legislation, government regulations, or policies (collectively, “LRPs”) relating to global climate change] and [removed: trade agreements.][added: other environmental initiatives and concerns.]
The continuing adoption or expansion of trade restrictions, the occurrence of a trade war, or other governmental action related to tariffs or trade agreements or policies has the potential to adversely impact demand for our products, our costs, our customers, our suppliers, and the U.S. economy, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating [removed: results] [added: results,] and financial condition.
The development, manufacture, sale and use of our products involve warranty, intellectual property infringement, [added: and] product liability [removed: claim] [added: claims,] and other [removed: risks.][added: liabilities and risks for the installation and service of our products.]
Our product liability insurance policies have limits that, if exceeded, may result in substantial costs that [removed: would] [added: could] have an adverse effect on our results of operations.
We are Subject to [removed: Litigation and Tax, Environmental] [added: Claims, Lawsuits,] and Other [removed: Regulations that] [added: Litigation That] Could Have an Adverse Effect on Our Results of Operations.
We are involved in various claims and lawsuits incidental to our business, including those involving product liability, labor relations, alleged exposure to asbestos-containing materials and environmental matters, some of which claim significant [added: damages.]
[removed: These laws] [added: Additionally, the extensive] and [added: ever-changing legislation and] regulations could impose [added: increased] liability for remediation costs and civil or criminal penalties in cases of non-compliance.
[removed: In] [added: Since] 2020, the spread of COVID-19 and the developments surrounding the global pandemic disrupted our business operations and affected our results [removed: of operations.]
[removed: As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, health concern risks remain, and we] [added: We] cannot predict whether any of our manufacturing, [removed: operational] [added: operational,] or distribution facilities will experience [added: any future] disruptions, or how long such disruptions would last.
We cannot predict the likelihood, [removed: duration] [added: duration,] or severity of any future disruption in financial markets or any adverse economic conditions in the U.S. and other countries.
We earn revenue, pay expenses, own [removed: assets] [added: assets,] and incur liabilities in countries using currencies other than the U.S. dollar.
Our Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in U.S. dollars and we translate revenue, income, expenses, [removed: assets] [added: assets,] and liabilities into U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect during or at the end of each reporting period.
In addition to the currency exchange risks inherent in operating in foreign countries, our international [removed: sales] [added: sales,] and operations, including purchases of raw materials from international suppliers, are subject to risks associated with local government laws, [removed: regulations] [added: regulations,] and policies (including those related to tariffs and trade barriers, investments, taxation, exchange controls, employment regulations and changes in laws and regulations).
[removed: Our international sales and operations are also sensitive to] changes in foreign national priorities, including government budgets, as well as to geopolitical and economic instability.
Conflicts, wars, natural disasters, [added: climate change,] infectious disease outbreaks or terrorist acts could also cause significant damage or disruption to our operations, employees, facilities, systems, suppliers, supply chain, distributors, [removed: resellers] [added: resellers,] or customers in the United States and internationally for extended periods of time and could also affect demand for our products.
Net sales outside of the United States comprised [removed: 13.0%] [added: approximately 13%] of our [added: total] net sales in [removed: 2020.][added: 2021.]
Attempts have been made to attack our information systems, but [removed: no] [added: we do not believe that] material harm has resulted.
From time to time, we may seek to complement or expand our businesses through strategic acquisitions, joint [removed: ventures] [added: ventures,] and strategic relationships.
The success of these transactions will depend, in part, on our ability to timely identify those relationships, negotiate and close the transactions and then integrate, [removed: manage] [added: manage,] and operate those businesses profitably.
As of December 31, [removed: 2020,] [added: 2021,] we had goodwill of [removed: $186.9] [added: $186.6] million on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Any future determination that an impairment of the value of goodwill occurred would require a write-down of the impaired portion of goodwill to fair [added: value and would reduce our assets and stockholders’ equity and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.]
Our Operations Can Be Adversely Affected By Our Ability to Attract, Motivate, Develop, and Retain Our Employees, Labor Shortages and Work Stoppages, Turnover, Labor Cost Increases and Other Labor Relations Problems.
We are committed to attracting, motivating, developing, and retaining our employees to ensure we remain an employer of choice.
Despite our efforts, we have experienced, and could continue to experience, higher employee turnover and absenteeism, particularly in manufacturing and distribution locations, as a result of COVID-19 related concerns and other factors.
A number of factors may adversely affect the labor force available or increase labor costs, including high employment levels, related competition, and federal unemployment subsidies, such as unemployment benefits offered in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
These concerns have decreased the pool of available qualified talent for certain functions.
Our Marshalltown, Iowa-based union ratified a five-year labor agreement on November 1, 2021; however, the results of future negotiations with unions are uncertain.
If we are unsuccessful in meeting these challenges, our results of operations could be materially impacted.
The effects of climate change, such as extreme weather conditions and events and water scarcity, may exacerbate fluctuations in typical weather patterns, creating financial risks to our business.
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in increased global supply chain constraints and disruption to the operations of certain of our suppliers and we cannot predict the duration or severity of current supply-chain issues, including increased input material costs and component shortages, delivery disruptions and delays, and inflation.
Additionally, the effects of climate change, including extreme weather events, long-term changes in temperature levels, water availability, increased cost for decarbonizing process heating, supply costs impacted by increasing energy costs, or energy costs impacted by carbon prices or offsets may exacerbate supply chain constraints and disruption.
Resulting supply chain constraints have required, and may continue to require, in certain instances, alternative delivery arrangements and increased costs and could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations.
These LRPs, implemented under global, national, and sub-national climate objectives or policies, can include changes in environmental and energy efficiency standards and tend to target the global warming potential of refrigerants and hydrofluorocarbons, equipment energy efficiency, and combustion of fossil fuels as a heating source.
Many of our products consume energy and use refrigerants and hydroflurocarbons.
LRPs that seek to reduce greenhouse gas emissions may require us to make increased capital expenditures to develop or market new products to meet new LRPs.
Further, our customers and the markets we serve may impose emissions or other environmental standards through LRPs or consumer preferences that may
require additional time, capital investment, or technological advancement.
There continues to be a lack of consistent climate legislation and regulations, which creates economic and regulatory uncertainty.
Such regulatory uncertainty could adversely impact the demand for energy efficient buildings and could increase costs of compliance.
of operations.
In 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic continued to create supply chain disruptions and higher employee absenteeism in our factories and distribution locations.
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, health concern risks remain.
In 2021, various forms of a vaccine for COVID-19 were approved and began to be distributed.
However, the large scale and challenging logistics of distributing the vaccines, as well as uncertainty over the efficacy of the vaccines against new variants of the virus, may impact the economy as well as our operations in the future.
While we are experiencing positive results despite the COVID-19 pandemic, there remains uncertainty regarding how COVID-19 will impact our results in the future.
The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic may continue for a significant period of time and may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided.
The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts us will depend on numerous evolving factors and future developments that we are not able to predict, including the duration and scope of the pandemic; governmental, business, and individuals’ actions in response to the pandemic; our ability to maintain sufficient qualified personnel due to employee illness, quarantine, willingness to return to work, vaccine and/or testing mandates, face-coverings and other safety requirements, general scarcity of employees, or travel and other restrictions; current global supply chain disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic; and the impact on economic activity, including financial market instability.
Our international sales and operations are also sensitive to
and future competitors.
If we cannot successfully implement such distribution and restructuring strategies or other cost savings plans, we may not achieve our expected cost savings in the time anticipated, or at all.
In such case, our results of operations and profitability may be negatively impacted, making us less competitive and potentially causing us to lose market share.
Because a Significant Percentage of Our Workforce is Unionized in Certain Manufacturing Facilities, We Face Risks of Work Stoppages and Other Labor Relations Problems.
The results of future negotiations with these unions and the effects of any production interruptions or labor stoppages could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
Specifically, changes in environmental and energy efficiency standards and regulations related to global climate change are being implemented to curtail the use of hydrofluorocarbons which are used in refrigerants that are essential to many of our products.
For example, in 2016, the Montreal Protocol was amended to phase down the use of hydrofluorocarbons, which may particularly have a significant impact on the types of products that we are allowed to develop and sell.
Future legislation or regulations relating to environmental policies, product certification, product liability, taxes, amount and availability of tax incentives and other matters, may impact the results of each of our operating segments and our consolidated results.
In some cases, we may incur liability claims for the installation and service of our products.
damages.
In addition, we are subject to extensive and changing federal, state and local laws and regulations designed to protect the environment.
Compliance with environmental laws increases our costs of doing business.
For example, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, various national, state, and local governments where we, our suppliers, and our customers operate issued decrees prohibiting certain businesses from continuing to operate and certain classes of workers from reporting to work.
Those decrees resulted in supply chain disruption and higher absenteeism in our factories.
Additionally, certain of our manufacturing facilities experienced short-term suspensions of operations for COVID-19 employee health concerns.
We implemented several cost reduction actions in the second quarter of 2020, including employee terminations, temporary facility closures and cancellations of certain sales and marketing activities, and revised our financial outlook downward to account for COVID-19’s expected economic impact on our Company and future uncertainty.
By the end of 2020, numerous countries including, the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, European Union, and Mexico had approved various forms of a vaccine for COVID-19 and began distributing them to their citizens in hope of slowing the spread of COVID-19.
The timing of any positive impact from the vaccines is uncertain.
Additionally, it is unknown if current vaccines will work on the new strains of the coronavirus which have been reported in numerous countries, including the United Kingdom and United States.
It also remains unclear how various national, state, and local governments will react if the distribution of vaccines is slower than expected.
If the COVID-19 pandemic worsens or the pandemic continues longer than presently expected, COVID 19 would continue to impact our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
value and would reduce our assets and stockholders’ equity and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

*Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic*
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic.
Currently the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted
our business operations and caused a significant unfavorable impact on our results of operations in 2020.
The COVID-19 pandemic is creating supply chain disruptions and higher employee absenteeism in our factories and distribution locations.
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, health concern risks remain.
- Net sales increased $560 million, or 15%, to $4,194 million in 2021 from $3,634 million in 2020.
- Operating income in 2021 was $590 million compared to $479 million in 2020.
- Net income in 2021 increased to $464 million from $356 million in 2020.
Sales in our Refrigeration segment increased 17% and segment profit increased $16 million compared to 2020 primarily due to higher sales volumes.
Net sales increased 15% in 2021 compared to 2020, driven by higher sales volumes of 11% and an improved combined price and mix of 4%.

Restructuring charges were $1.8 million in 2021 compared to $10.8 million in 2020.
Charges in 2021 were related to ongoing cost reduction actions taken in prior years.
The decrease is due to rising production costs at the joint ventures.
Net interest expense of $25 million in 2021 decreased from $28 million in 2020 primarily due to lower borrowing and lower borrowing costs.

*Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic and the Resulting Changes to our 2020 Financial Performance*
In 2020, the spread of COVID-19 and the developments surrounding the global pandemic disrupted our business operations and affected our results of operations.
For example, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, various national, state, and local governments where we, our suppliers, and our customers operate issued decrees prohibiting certain businesses from continuing to operate and certain classes of workers from reporting to work.
Those decrees resulted in supply chain disruption, higher absenteeism in our factories, and negatively impacted net sales for our Commercial and Refrigeration segments.
Additionally, certain of our manufacturing facilities experienced short-term suspensions of operations for COVID-19 employee health concerns.
We implemented several cost reduction actions in the second quarter of 2020, including employee terminations, temporary facility closures and cancellations of certain sales and marketing activities, and revised our financial outlook downward to account for COVID-19’s expected economic impact on our Company and future uncertainty.
- Net sales decreased $173 million, or 5%, to $3,634 million in 2020 from $3,807 million in 2019.
- Operating income in 2020 was $479 million compared to $657 million in 2019, which included $179 million net gain from insurance recoveries.
- Net income in 2020 decreased to $356 million from $409 million in 2019.
The
increase was primarily due to a decrease in working capital.
Results for the year were mixed and adversely impacted by the economic downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Sales in our Refrigeration segment decreased 17% and segment profit decreased $29 million compared to 2019 primarily due to lower sales volume and the loss of sales volume from our divested Kysor Warren business.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
In the second and fourth quarters of 2019, we entered into agreements to purchase group annuity contracts and transfer certain pension assets and related pension benefit obligations to Pacific Life Insurance Company.
We recognized $99.2 million of pension settlement charges related to these transactions.
The increase is due to improved operating performance at the joint ventures.
Net sales decreased 2.0% in 2019 compared to 2018, driven by a 5% decline related to the divestitures of our Australia, Asia, South America, and Kysor Warren businesses, partially offset by 1% volume growth and 2% from favorable price and mix combined.
These decreases were offset by increases of 100 bps from favorable price and mix, 50 bps from sourcing and engineering-led cost reductions, and 60 bps from our divested Australia, Asia, South America, and Kysor Warren businesses which collectively had lower margins.
SG&A expenses decreased by $22 million in 2019 compared to 2018.
SG&A decreased primarily due to the sale of our divested Australia, Asia, South America, and Kysor Warren businesses.

| Other operating (gains) losses | | | (1.7) | | | | | | — | | |
| Environmental liabilities | | | 5.7 | | | | | | 2.2 | | |
The realized gains on settled futures contracts in 2018 were attributable to changes in commodity prices relative to our settled futures contract prices, as commodity prices have increased in 2018 relative to 2017.
Restructuring charges were $10.3 million in 2019 compared to $3.0 million in 2018.
The charges in 2019 related primarily to activities in the Residential Heating & Cooling segment to close certain Lennox Stores and reduce management and support staff, and activities in the Commercial Heating & Cooling segments to re-align resources and its product portfolio.
The charges in 2018 were primarily for projects to realign resources and enhance manufacturing and distribution capabilities.
December 31, 2019.
*Asset Impairment*
Net interest expense of $48 million in 2019 increased from $38 million in 2018 primarily due to an increase in our average borrowings.
We expect our effective tax rate will be between 21% and 22% in future years, excluding the impact of excess tax benefits.
Refer to Note 13 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the impact of recent changes in tax legislation.
There were no significant losses from discontinued operations in 2019.

| Net sales | | | $ | 2,291.1 | | | | | $ | 2,225.0 | | | | | $ | 66.1 | | | | | 3% | | |

| % of net sales | | | 20.3 | | % | | | | 18.0 | | % | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Segment profit in 2019 increased $65 million compared to 2018 due to an incremental $72 million of insurance proceeds for lost profits related to the Marshalltown tornado, $53 million of favorable price, $14 million of sourcing and engineer-led cost reductions, $8 million of lower warranty costs, and $2 million of higher sales volume.

593 rewritten, 140 added, 182 removed, 1,004 unchanged
Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has undertaken an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, [removed: 2020,] [added: 2021,] based on criteria established in *Internal Control - Integrated Framework* (2013) by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
Based on this assessment, management concluded that as of December 31, [removed: 2020,] [added: 2021,] the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective.
KPMG LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, has issued an audit report including an opinion on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, [removed: 2020,] [added: 2021,] a copy of which is included herein.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Lennox International Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, [removed: 2020] [added: 2021] and [removed: 2019,] [added: 2020,] the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive (loss) income, stockholders’ [removed: (deficit) equity,] [added: deficit,] and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, [removed: 2020,] [added: 2021,] and the related notes and Schedule II – Valuation and Qualifying Accounts and Reserves (collectively, the consolidated financial statements).
We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, [removed: 2020,] [added: 2021,] based on criteria established in *Internal Control – Integrated Framework* *(2013)* issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, [removed: 2020] [added: 2021] and [removed: 2019,] [added: 2020,] and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, [removed: 2020,] [added: 2021,] in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, [removed: 2020] [added: 2021] based on criteria established in *Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013)* issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and [added: expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.]
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex [removed: judgment.][added: judgments.]

The Company’s product warranty liability was [removed: $120] [added: $134.2] million as of December 31, [removed: 2020.][added: 2021.]
Assessing the assumptions used to estimate the product warranty liability, specifically, the estimated failure rates by product [added: category] by year, and estimated cost per failure, involved subjective and complex auditor judgment.

*Change in Accounting Principle*
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for leases as of January 1, 2019 due to the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, *Leases (Topic 842)*, as amended.
expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

In
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, various national, state, and local governments where we, our suppliers, and our customers operate issued decrees prohibiting certain businesses from continuing to operate and certain classes of workers from reporting to work.
Those decrees have resulted in supply chain disruption and higher employee absenteeism in our factories.
Additionally, certain of our manufacturing facilities experienced short-term suspensions of operations for COVID-19 employee health concerns.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, *Leases* (“*ASC 842*”).
This accounting standard requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset on the balance sheet for operating leases.
Accounting for finance leases is substantially unchanged.
ASC 842 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and we adopted the standard effective January 1, 2019.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, *Intangible - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment*.
ASU 2017-04 eliminates step two of the goodwill impairment test and specifies that goodwill impairment should be measured by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount.
Additionally, the amount of goodwill allocated to each reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount of net assets should be disclosed.
ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests performed in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, *Intangibles – Internal-Use Software (Topic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract*.
ASU 2018-15 provides guidance to determine how implementation costs associated with cloud computing arrangements that are incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software should be capitalized or expensed as incurred.
ASU 2018-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019.
The adoption of ASU 2018-15 did not have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations, cash flows, or statement of financial position.
Changes in Accounting Standards Effective for Future Reporting Periods
We are currently assessing the impact of ASU 2019-12, but do not expect it to have a material impact on our financial statements.
(1) Effective January 1, 2019, we realigned our segment structure.
We shifted financial reporting of the European Commercial HVAC business from our Commercial Heating & Cooling segment to our Refrigeration segment as we manage both our commercial HVAC and refrigeration operations in Europe together.
We have revised our historical segment results to present them on a comparable basis.
